Netflix, Inc. is the world's ninth-largest internet company by revenue. Founded on August 29, 1997, Scotts Valley, CA, by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph, Netflix is an entertainment company that specializes in and provides streaming media or video-on-demand (VOD) online, as well as still providing its legacy business of DVDs by mail.

When Netflix reports its second quarter earnings, shareholders will closely look at how many subscribers the world’s largest video streaming service was able to add in the U.S. and internationally. According to Netflix, the biggest driver of subscriber additions is the company’s exclusive original content. And, at least according to the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, the company has been doing a great job with its own TV shows. Netflix has established itself as a household name for quality content:

Netflix $NFLX Q3 2016 Earnings Boosted by Surge in International Growth

Netflix Boosted by Surge in New International Members:

Netflix Inc. is a U.S.-based multinational entertainment company, founded August 29, 1997, by Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph. Netflix provides streaming media and video on demand online and DVD by mail.
• Headquarters: Los Gatos, CA
• Stock exchange: symbol | NASDAQ: NFLX

Q3 Results and Q4 Forecast (source: Netflix Inc.):

Global streaming revenue totaled $2.2 billion, of which 40% was generated abroad. Operating income amounted to $106 million (compared with our $64 million estimate) while net income was $52 million (vs. forecast of $22 million). In Q3, we added 0.4 million members in the US vs. our forecast of 0.3 million and 3.2 million members internationally vs. our forecast of 2.0 million. Our over-performance against forecast (86.7m total streaming members vs. forecast of 85.5m) was driven primarily by stronger than expected acquisition due to excitement around Netflix original content …. For Q4, we forecast 5.2 million global net adds, with 1.45 million net adds in the US and 3.75 million new members internationally. Our expectation for a moderate year-over-year decline in net adds reflects the completion of un-grandfathering. We are pleased with the results thus far as we expect ASP to grow 12% from Q1’16 to Q4’16. Internationally, the initial demand from our launch in Spain, Portugal and Italy in Q4’15 will also affect our year-over-year net adds comparison. We will face a tough international net adds comparison in Q1’17 because of the initial membership surge in Q1’16 tied to the launch of 130 additional territories. As discussed, for the balance of 2016, we will continue to operate around break even, and then start generating material global profits in 2017 and beyond, by marching up operating margins steadily for many years.

Broadcast & Cable TV Dead & Dying, Long Live VIDEO On Demand (video)

Intelligence Report: Video 2016:

Video above published August 1, 2016 by L2inc.com @L2_Digital

TV is on its last gasp, as the post-boomer generation embraces over-the-top services at the expense of traditional channels: Fifty percent of American viewers now use subscription-based video-on-demand services, spending an average 5.5 hours each day watching video content.

As TV loses share, the big winner is digital [video on demand]: nearly 80 percent of total global internet traffic will be driven by video in 2020.

Video is now a mobile first experience, and will account for 77 percent of all U.S. mobile data traffic by 2020, up from 61 percent in 2015.

Mobile has already left its mark on the format, as the average duration of a brand’s YouTube video has decreased by more than 60 seconds since April 2015.

With an evolving and expanding set of platforms, each with unique advertising models, best-in-class brands are working harder than ever to succeed at video.

GoPro is one of only a handful of brands that have been able to successfully translate user generated content into significant organic reach on YouTube.

Chanel has effectively leveraged its fashion shows by extending each show into multiple video cuts, maximizing the impact, lifecycle, and ROI of their tent-pole event.

Few brands have figured out how to leverage influencer content effectively. Of the twenty brands with the most vlogger mentions, only L’Oreal Paris, Make Up For Ever, and Urban Decay have leveraged advertising opportunities with these influencers.

L’Oreal Paris captures 2.7 percent of vlogger mentions, and accounts for 3.0 percent of TrueView ads on vlogger channels.
